Fans outraged over a YouTube channel spreading fake news about Park Eun Bin with clickbait thumbnails

The news that a Hollywood star threw a wine glass at actress Park Eun Bin at the Oscars was reported by a YouTube channel. However, it’s completely fabricated.

Celebrities who have made headlines recently have become the victims of fake news spread by this YouTube channel. Outstanding examples include former figure skater Kim Yuna, who recently announced her marriage, and actress Park Eun Bin of the popular drama “Extraordinary Attorney Woo”. The font and editing of the subtitles kept being appropriately used in the thumbnails of this channel’s videos to make them look like real news reports.

There were also several fake news about famous foreign celebrities on the channel, such as “Tom Cruise married a Korean”, “Chinese Top Star Fan Bingbing Exiled to Korea”, and “Angelina Jolie was taken to the emergency room of Korea University Hospital while being unconscious”. Comments on all videos have been blocked, perhaps due to fear of facing protests from a large number of netizens.

The most popular video on this channel was uploaded on August 6th, in which it is claimed that Park Eun Bin won an Oscars at the 2022 Academy Awards in America. As of August 17th, this video has surpassed 286,000 views. The number of likes has exceeded 5,100.
